In addition to pain, some common symptoms are swelling and redness around the joint, limited movement in the affected body parts, and stiffness. A doctor can prescribe medication or you can take over the counter pain relievers. But many people experience improvement simply by staying physically active along with one or more simple natural treatments.

      Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in certain fish, flaxseeds, walnuts and other oils, may reduce inflammatory. Omega-3 fatty acids also benefit the heart, help the nervous system, and increase good cholesterol. High doses can potentially cause bleeding, so talk with your doctor before adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.

Weight loss

Putting a lot of wear and tear on your joints increases your risk of osteoarthritis. Being overweight, even by just a few pounds, can be a big stress on joints. Every one pound of excess weight you carry puts four pounds of extra stress on your knees, ankles, and hips.Losing even just a little weight can remove stress from your joints. If you already have arthritis, losing weight may reduce your daily pain.

Exercise

Exercise may be the most beneficial treatment for arthritis, but it is difficult to get started. Exercise strengthens muscles around your joints, and it helps maintain bone strength. It also helps control your weight, improve your sleep, and energy levels. Moderate exercise for 20 to 30 minutes a day.
